I am interested in how much "active shooter" training Peterson had as an LEO. Since he was an armed deputy at a large high school you would think that he had at least some training but I have not seen anything about it in the press.

On another issue involving Peterson's "hesitation at the moment of truth" folks might be interested in the book written by Army Ranger Dave Grossman entitled "On Killing." That book is available over on Amazon. Apparently it is also a problem in the U.S. military though Grossman's (and S.L.A. Marshall before him) book remains controversial.

I am seeing various duties discussed here in the forum. While Peterson may not have had a "Constitutional duty" to protect citizens he nonetheless had a duty to protect prescribed by his boss the sheriff--evidenced by the sheriff firing Peterson after reviewing his conduct.

An employer can implement all sorts of duties an employee must fulfill that are not "mandated" by the Constitution.

Commissioned peace officers take various oaths--if I I dug around enough I could find some of those duties set out by Florida statute. I am sure there are internal written guidelines within that sheriff's office too.

Columbine released some of the school security video. If we had that and the exterior school security video for the Florida school we could probably see what Peterson would have had to do to engage Cruz. The sheriff said he looked at some of the video and decided to fire Peterson.

And the lessons law enforcement learned at Columbine were...

You're incorrect. The initial reports mistakenly identified Officer Gregory Stevens as killing the two gunmen. The post mortem showed that the lethal shots were all done by 4 SWAT team members.

" Two gunman shot dead after opening fire outside a controversial Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas earlier this month were killed by SWAT team members and not a single traffic officer as initially reported, police said Monday.

The correction by Garland Police Chief Mitch Bates follows officials initially lauding a single Garland police officer for eliminating Elton Simpson, 31, and Nadir Soofi, 34, after police say they stormed the Curtis Culwell Center armed with assault rifles.

Bates, speaking at a press conference, said that traffic officer did shoot and wound the suspects but that it was four members of the SWAT Tactical Response Team that killed the armed duo during the May 3 attack."

You mis-characterized what I said. He, in fact, did take em out. SWAT fired the lethal rounds AFTER they were down as far as I can tell. Of course, it would be nice to have the offense reports and coroner's report to review. For a detailed account of what happened read this:

We can debate the "woulda, coulda, shouldas"s until the "cows come home" as we say in Texas.

Lessons were learned at Columbine: you go in--you do not wait outside and "form a defensive perimeter."

These deputies obviously needed more training--I fault the sheriff for that.
